Grimes in Alpharetta would be close. They have an engine dyno and a good Pontiac reputation.

They look like SDs. There should be a letter cast into one side of the rod shaft from A-G (I think "G" but I'm just going by memory.) There was some concern that some of the letter codes, which represent production runs, had some stretch issues.

SD-455 Rods
I have a set of NOS J & K rods that I bought 10 years ago for $500.00. That was before the easy availability of all the different forged rods now on the market. I heard that some batches were heat treated incorrectly at teh pin (small) end and were blue in color. A & B rods were used in the production 73's, not sure about '74's.

Re: 255x60x15 tire fit. Notice that sometimes they fit and sometimes they rub a little. Blame that on inconsistant build quality (I'm being generous!).Also,tires are required to come within only 10% of thier stated size. I suggest resetting the alignment to 1/2 deg neg camber - 1/16 toe in-2 to 4 deg + caster. This will result in better handling and more tire clearence.

I had him look closely at the rods and he said some of them have the letter C, some only the number 2 and some the number 1. Several of them also have a circle with something in it.

Even cooler to have him living in the same city and having built the engine in my SD a few years back. Hey Ken!
